    She Built a Loyal Community of 70,000 Women on Her Phone with Denice Duff

    What if great skin wasn't about the most expensive cream on the shelf? In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Denice Duff, actress, photographer, and founder of In Your Face Skincare, a brand built on the radical idea that every ingredient has to actually earn its place. Denice spent decades in front of the camera, first as an actress on shows like Young and the Restless and Northern Exposure, and later as a photographer. She was always around skin. Always paying attention. And after a round of Accutane in her late 20s left her searching for real hydration, she started creating her own solution. She shares how she built community online with nothing but her phone and her personality, why she never opens a video with "Hi guys," and what she learned in Romanian villages in 1992 that still informs how she formulates today. In this episode, you'll hear about: The ingredient philosophy behind In Your Face Skincare (and why silicones are basically croutons) How she built a loyal TikTok community of 40 to 70-year-old women on authenticity alone The unexpected moment that convinced her to actually launch the brand Why she says "be interested, not interesting" is the most important advice she's ever given What she believes every woman should understand about asking for help And why health is the one wealth she refuses to negotiate on If you've been curious how to show up online without feeling performative, or what it looks like to build something rooted in real purpose, let’s create your 3-month community strategy!

    Business Growth through Refining your Circle and Letting Go with Wendy Quintero

    What does it look like to build a business that actually grows with you through all of your seasons?  This week, Lynzie sat down with Wendy Quintero, the creative director of Wendylandia, an accessory boutique for women rooted in self-expression, womanhood, and accessible everyday style. Wendy's journey started with a mommy-and-me boutique called Lex and Motherhood, went through COVID, two back-to-back pregnancies, a major rebrand, and a season of stepping fully back into her power. Her business has been the mirror of her personal evolution, and she is here to talk about all of it. They talk about: - How Wendylandia started as Lex and Motherhood and evolved through COVID and motherhood into the brand it is today - Why Wendy paused her business for a full year and what she learned from sitting in that discomfort - The identity shifts women go through, not just as moms, but as entrepreneurs navigating change at every stage - How Business Connect was born from a restaurant owner's generosity and a belief that community should be built on doing, not just saying - The difference between networking and connection, and why the language shift matters more than you think - What it means to filter your circle and why gatekeeping hurts you more than it protects you - Why Wendy believes money is a tool and time is what makes you truly wealthy We’d also love to invite you to our next Finding Common Ground monthly virtual women’s circle. This is a free, no sales space for like-minded women to sit in community and support each other through life’s chapters. Each month we gather with an intention and a yummy beverage to help us ground.

    What if the content you've already created could work a lot harder for you? In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Kristen Stegall, founder of Novice Studios, a full-service video production company for podcasters based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kristen and her team love working with ambitious women who are aiming to expand their brands through video podcasts to serve and nurture their target audience.

In this episode, you'll hear about: - Why podcasting creates a more intimate and lasting connection than any social media platform - How to turn one solid episode into a full week of repurposed content - The YouTube advantage: why your content never expires on that platform - What to look at when your podcast isn't performing and how to fix it - The power of vulnerability in long form content and why it builds deeper trust - What wealth looks like when freedom of time meets freedom of choice If you are a woman entrepreneur who's been thinking about starting a podcast, wondering why yours isn't growing yet, or just exhausted by the content creation hamster wheel, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.

    Work Smarter, Not Harder: How Two Women are Building Legacy Through Community with Jenel Palm and Lisa Schaible

    You've been in the beauty industry for years. But are you actually working smarter, or just working harder? In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Jenel Palm and Lisa Schaible, the co-founders of Boss Beauty Designs, co-owning a salon, and doing everything it takes to build something that lasts. These two met around the year 2000 as fellow stylists with the same drive, the same pace, and the same passion for the industry. What started as a working friendship became a 26-year partnership that has weathered every version of growth, and then some. Now running Boss Beauty Designs, Jenel and Lisa are channeling all of that wisdom into tools, education, and community that actually serve stylists in the real world. They get refreshingly honest about what business partnership actually looks like (spoiler: it's a lot like a sisterhood, complete with battles and unconditional loyalty), why burnout is something they've lived through and refuse to repeat, and how they're now heading back into cosmetology schools to give new stylists the human connection skills that no curriculum teaches. In this episode, you'll hear about: - Building a 26-year business partnership and what actually keeps it intact - Why working smarter, not harder is the foundation of everything they create - How trust becomes the currency that builds lasting community - The human connection skills the next generation of stylists needs most - What wealth looks like when financial freedom meets creative freedom If you are a stylist, a beauty entrepreneur, or someone building something alongside a long-term partner, this episode is going to resonate in a big way.

    Reinvention of Feminine Leadership with Annie Yatch

    What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with your strategy… and everything to do with the patterns running underneath it? In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Annie Yatch, CEO of Reinvention XO. Women turn to her when women are wildly successful on paper, but exhausted, over-functioning, and secretly wondering why the next level of wealth still feels just out of reach. Annie shares how her background in counter terrorism unexpectedly led her into transformational coaching and why she believes women are entering one of the most important shifts of their lives as they move into deeper self awareness and authority. Together, they share the difference between external success and internal alignment, the emotional cost of people-pleasing, and how unresolved subconscious patterns quietly shape the way women lead, build businesses, choose relationships, and make decisions. This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership is not just strategy. It’s embodiment. It’s self trust. It’s learning how to stop abandoning yourself in the process of building success.  In this episode, you’ll hear about: • Annie’s “eagle” reinvention story and what it represents for women • The nervous system, trauma, and identity gaps affecting female leaders • Why entrepreneurship becomes a catalyst for personal growth • How people pleasing impacts business, boundaries, and burnout • The connection between relationships, leadership, and self worth • The role AI plays in disconnecting women from discernment and intuition • Annie’s definition of wealth and what true alignment actually looks like Take Annie’s “The Leadership Energy Leak Calculator” to discover what burnout is actually costing you in time, money, and authority.  If you’ve ever felt burned out, disconnected, stuck in repeated patterns, or unsure how to fully trust yourself again, you’re invited to join our Finding Common Ground monthly virtual women’s circle.

    Build a Business That Doesn’t Burn You Out with Erin Ray

    What if everything you’ve built came from just… refusing to quit? In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Erin Ray, a hairstylist, educator, and forever student of the industry. Erin Ray teaches real-life techniques and business strategies for artists who want to laugh, learn, and build careers that feel aligned, not exhausting. Erin didn’t follow a traditional path into entrepreneurship. She started in her basement, navigating motherhood, financial risk, and uncertainty. Through a series of major life events, including the pandemic, a hurricane, and personal challenges, she continued to move forward, building what is now a thriving salon, suite space, and education platform. Throughout this conversation, Erin shares what it actually looks like to grow a business from the ground up while evolving as a person. From learning how to say no, to building systems that allow her business to run without her, to redefining what success really means, this episode is honest, unfiltered, and deeply relatable. You’ll hear how she transitioned from stylist to multi-faceted entrepreneur, how she built a community-first business model, and why she believes wealth has nothing to do with appearances and everything to do with freedom. This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from having it all figured out. It comes from continuing to show up, even when things don’t go as planned. In this episode, you’ll hear about: How Erin built her business from a basement to a full salon and suite space Why burnout forced her to create stronger boundaries The systems she implemented to scale her business How she transitioned into education and coaching What it really means to build community in business If you’ve been craving community and connection, you’re invited to join our Finding Common Ground monthly virtual women’s circle.

    The Anti-Chaos Playbook- Smart Systems & Psychological Safety to Scale with Sarah Smith

    In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Sarah Smith, founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Iconoclast Innovations, to unpack what really happens in the “messy middle” of business growth. Sarah Smith is an operations and transformation consultant with over 12 years of experience helping organizations turn strategy into execution. She works with founders, startups, and SMBs to grow and scale without breaking the humans involved. Known for keeping complex initiatives moving, Sarah specializes in fixing the operational breakdowns that stall delivery, waste time, and quietly erode revenue.  This conversation goes beyond surface-level strategy. They talk about what actually breaks inside a business when things start to grow, even when revenue looks good on the outside. From missed communication and outdated workflows to internal culture gaps, Sarah shares how to spot early warning signs before they turn into bigger problems. They also discuss the importance of internal community. Not just how your business shows up externally, but how your team communicates, builds trust, and handles conflict behind the scenes. Because without that foundation, scaling becomes unstable fast. You’ll also hear a grounded take on AI. Not as a replacement for human connection, but as a tool to support leadership, decision-making, and systems, without losing the emotional and relational side of business that actually drives impact. In this episode, you’ll hear about • Systems that quietly break as you grow • The internal team dynamics most people overlook • How to use AI without losing your voice • And how to recognize when something needs to shift before burnout hits If you’ve been feeling the tension between growth and sustainability, this episode will help you see exactly where to focus next.

    She Risked It All And Built an 8 Figure Brand with Save the Girls

    What if your biggest “failure” was actually the moment everything started working? In this episode of The Wealth We Hold, Lynzie sits down with Tami and Elizabeth Lange, the mother daughter duo behind Save the Girls, a fast growing brand built on innovation, resilience, and purpose. Despite early challenges with dyslexia and being told she was “not cut out for college,” Tami defied expectations, earning both her undergraduate and master’s degrees in business summa cum laude. Under her leadership, her family’s company scaled to $70 million in annual sales. After the sale of that business was mismanaged, Tami once again relied on her determination to rebuild. Her career reflects an unshakable belief that with creativity, perseverance, and grit, dreams can be achieved. One unexpected idea led her to leave her corporate career, invest everything she had, and launch a product in just six weeks. Inspired by the need for a safe place yet functional place for phones, she launched Save The Girls, an accessories brand she grew into an eight-figure annual business in just eight years. Tami did not experience instant success. Her journey was full of doubt, slow sales, and the very real fear of losing it all. But instead of quitting, she pivoted. From driving store to store selling products out of her car, to building multiple revenue streams across wholesale, online, TV, and global markets, Tami and Elizabeth walk us through what it actually takes to grow a business that lasts. This conversation goes beyond strategy. It’s about community, mentorship, and building something that creates impact far beyond profit. You’ll hear how they: Built a business with four strong revenue streams to stay resilientUsed creative marketing to stand out when no one knew themCreated a win-win ecosystem with their customers and partnersBuilt internal team culture through daily connection and learningStayed committed to giving back, even in their hardest seasonsIf you’re building something of your own, navigating growth, or questioning your next move, this episode will ground you and move you forward.
